97 Cherokee Laredo V8 4X4 bought used and came with remote. I replaced the batteries in it but still doesn't work. Is there some kind of sequence to go through to re-set it? Or do I have go to the Dealer?

Got any phone charges or other electronics in the vehicle? Disconnect them and try the remote. Those can cause interference.

Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. JUST THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL (BLACK)!!! DO NOT TOUCH THE POSITIVE TERMINAL WITH THE NEGATIVE CABLE STILL INTACT!!!!

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. If I was you, I would go ahead and change the transmission fluid and filter. The bubbly fluid may be a sign of water or moisture. If it was driven with little fluid, there may be damage. I would inspect the outer part and check for leaks. Slipping when you first pull out could be a sign of low fluid. Then again, you may have transmission issues. If it is possible, try to get codes off your computer. If not, I would change the fluid and filter to see if that helps. If it doesn't, I would advise you to see a transmission shop.

Well if your battery and fuses check out fine the next thing i would suggest would be to make sure all your battery cables are good and snug, both at the battery side, and the vehicle side.

it could be a circuit that is not being used by an option like power windows or fog lamps or ac, try bridging with a test light to see if its active, if so plug in a 5 amp fuse and see if somethin works that didn.t before

Check your throtle postition sensor. It monitors what postion the throtle is at and sends that info to the ecm. It will go bad and cause that problem.

Have 2004 laredo that the power locks/windows do not work from the inside and the dome lights stay on after the car is running and the locks do not lock automatically after it starts running? Now car will not start, will not turn over. When I turn key back to off position - the lights and dashboard go crazy. Any thoughts!

replace the blower speed control resistor, they short and allow this to happen

My 97 cherokee catalytic converter was stolen, oxygen sensor wires cut. the replacement is black, grey and white. the jeep is different color. i need help knowing which wires get connected to which.

There are switches on the door lock cylinders that are supposed to shut the alarm off when you use the key,but they go bad allot. you could try unlocking the passenger door first, since that one usually gets less use and is less likely to go bad. Otherwise you can disconnect the alarm module, it is located behind the glove box.
